Computational results
- With the proliferation of high-performance computers, databases of
computational chemistry results are likely to become more prevalent.
Such computational results might include ab-initio, semi-empirical,
and small molecule - protein docking data.
- A competing trend is towards the availability of computational servers.
Many such servers already exist, e.g. for 3-D model building, homology
computation, etc.
- The distinction between these cases is blurred, since databases are
often used as caches for computational results.
- In either case, great benefits can be realized by allowing such servers
to be searched in standard ways rather than providing "one-off" data services.
